Does TIFR only accept PhD students? I couldn't find the MTech admission section on their web page?

JEST is mainly for IMSc and I don't know how many people know about IMSc (Institute of Mathematical Sciences). IMSc is a very good research institute if anyone wants to do research in Theoretical Computer Science and have interest in mathematics but it is not for those people who wants to go in industry. This year my JEST rank was $2^{nd}$, So, I got opportunity to go in IMSc. Like IISc, there are other very good research institutes as well in india like TIFR, ISI, CMI etc which are not much popular and one of the reason is that they don't do much publicity like IISc and get less fund from the government and lacks in infrastructure. But according to me, if anyone wants to go in research, then choose your area of interest and decide which institute is working in that field and go there. It should not be like 100 people say IISc, then I will go in IISc. This is only my personal opinion. Even in ISI, one professor was talking about Saket Saurabh from IMSc(he was also among the people who has taken my interview and much supported me) who worked in parameterized algorithms and many other things and his work is highly appreciated abroad but not in india. One more person from IMSc, I know, is Amritanshu Prasad who has contributed a lot in research and recently, one person won the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize  from IMSc also. If anyone more wants to know about IMSc then can see the blog written by Sarthak Parui.

JEST score is also considered by IIT Gandhinagar(Ph.D) , IIT Madras(MS by research (might be required high jest rank)), CMI (direct interview for Ph.D) and for IISc, along with CSA and CDS(M.Tech(research)), one can apply for Maths(Ph.D) and Mathematical Sciences etc as well.

@Arjun sir, Thank you. :) I did not join IMSc because I was not interested in research that time. I wanted to go in industry  and IMSc is largely a theoretical institute and I guess, doing PhD in theoretical sciences is not very helpful in industry. So, I joined ISI,Kolkata but after joining ISI, I inspired a lot for research and I guess, same thing is true for other reputed research institutes like IISc, TIFR,IMSc,CMI,HRI etc as well. My purpose of writing about IMSc is that people know about it because there is very less information is available about IMSc.

@logan1x Sorry, I don't know about computational biology. I have one person in contact from IMSc on facebook. I will talk and will message you.

@Sourajit25 For IISc, procedure is same as gate. For CSA, they will ask you to choose your area of interest whether you want to go in systems, theory or intelligent systems. They will ask you to fill a form when you go in IISc and in that form you have to mention that area of interest. On the basis of your area of interest, they will take written exam and interview. Same for CDS, you can choose CDS-CP or CDS-CS.

IISc accepts only part-1(objective) jest score.

@ankitgupta.1729 sir,  It means we can say that this is also an another way to reach IISc CSA (but like fewer seats) and they will be studying in the same pattern as that of a GATE qualififed MTech CSA aspirant in same class ???

Yes. But topping JEST and then clearing IISc interview is not an easy thing. Among GATR toppers conversion rate in interviews is like 10%.
